If you have found your way to this directory, the chances are you are experiencing some sort of distress or disquiet in your life. Whether you have been struggling with a particular issue, hope to avoid destructive patterns that seem to repeat themselves or simply want to find a space to explore what it is to be you, psychotherapy can be a healing and nurturing experience.

I am an integrative psychotherapist which means I draw from a number of modalities including gestalt and psychodynamic. I work with clients to enhance awareness of how the past contributes to the present and informs so many of the choices and decisions we make. It can be both fascinating and painful to explore our early experiences and how they impact our daily lives but can also be an important stop on the way toward healing.

The way we will work together will depend on your needs and what brings you to therapy. We might explore your past to help us understand how it impacts your present and your relationships. We might be working out how to reduce your tendency towards anxiety and depression. You might be struggling with the impact of a single or repeated trauma and we can work on how to place traumatic experiences in the past where they belong.

I am a UKCP Registered Psychotherapist (Reg: 2011185664). I am also a registered member of the BACP (Reg: 398001). I trained at Newman University, Birmingham and qualified with an MSc in Integrative Counselling and Psychotherapy Studies, and an Advanced Diploma in Psychotherapy Studies. 

Psychotherapy can be long or short term. Depending on what brings you to therapy and the depth of complexity involved, we can agree on a plan together. I tend not to work with a client for fewer than six sessions. 

I offer a free initial discussion so we both can decide if it feels like a good fit and give you the opportunity to ask any questions about therapy.
